Formula

a(n+1) = A181971(2*n,n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 09 2012

a(n) ~ c * 2^(2*n) / sqrt(n), where c = 0.236633772766964806372497000634617466975260409008748... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 07 2023

Example

a(n) is the n-th term in the q-analog of odd double factorial (2n+1)!!, in which the coefficients of q (triangle A128080) begin:
   1;
  (1);
   1,(1),1;
   1,2,(3),3,3,2,1;
   1,3,6,(9),12,14,15,14,12,9,6,3,1;
   1,4,10,19,(31),45,60,74,86,94,97,94,86,74,60,45,31,19,10,4,1;
The terms enclosed in parenthesis are initial terms of this sequence.

Maple

b:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1,
      simplify(b(n-1)*(1-q^(2*n-1))/(1-q)))
    end:
a:= n-> coeff(b(n+1), q, n):
seq(a(n), n=0..28);  # Alois P. Heinz, Sep 22 2021

Mathematica

a[n_] := SeriesCoefficient[Product[(1-q^(2k-1))/(1-q), {k, 1, n+1}], {q, 0, n}];
Table[a[n], {n, 0, 30}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 31 2021 *)
